Thank you for shipping our order so quickly! The order was complete and the products were exactly what we were looking for. The items ordered were for my husband to wear in our wedding. Everything fit perfectly and my husband even commented on how comfortable he was wearing them. The quality was outstanding. The outfit was of the time period as indicated. He looked dashing, the envy of all. I would definitely order again from this company and have already told my friends and family about them. Thank you again for making our wedding special.

I could not be happier Customer service was polite and well informed. Product arrived quickly and shipping costs, which is very important to us in Hawaii was very reasonable. I look forward to shopping Gentlemans Emporium when my next need arises.

The cut of the garments needs to be tailored for my shape. When I order a waist size of 36",where on belted Trousers I normally wear a 33", the butt, leg are too large and the trousers look baggy.

Every year around the first of November till the end of the year I become possessed by a portly white headed gentleman that has a fascination with toys and children. He is quite picky about his clothing wanting to wear mostly red and white with a little green. He has to have good quality as he spends quite a lot of time with children sitting on his lap. I find that the Gentleman's Emporium has a large selection of shirts and accessories that he is quite fond of and also in a large size range. I am sure that I will have a long relationship with these fine people.

Ordering was easy, my Fall Front Trousers were shipped promptly and arrived before the time I needed them. The material was excellent and well-made. they fit like a glove with only minor hemming which I expected. I will order again!

Good quality for the price
Good quality. Warm and substantial but not overly "heavy weight". Fully lined. Expeditious delivery. Reasonably priced. No complaints.

Great coat!!!
I've been looking for a style coat from that Era and found it in this coat. I like the style of the coat. I like the feel of the coat. I like the cape that gives it that gentlemen look. It's different than most Styles today and that is why I like it. Great find!

Amazing trailcoat
I am very satisfied with my new trailcoat, that fitted extremly well - way better than expected. The craftmanship and the look is indeed a beauty, and I'm looking forward to be the conferencier in front of over 3000 people dressed for success in this astonishing garb. Couldn´t possibly find a better suit for this occasion, and as a matter of fact I've already worn it at a fancy dinner at the Castle of Örebro a few weeks ago. Everyone looked jealous, and I understand them. Thank you for your very fast delivery!

Inverness dress coat
Dear Sirs, I received my Inverness Dress coat as you know. It was everything I had expected and then some. I have ordered several items from your shop and I am extremely pleased with all of them. Good quality and prices for very hard items to find. Thank you very much for your time and concerns as to my feelings towards my purchases. Both have become a very rare commodity in this day and age. Thank you again. Sincerely. Jeff

Dickens' Fair
The shipping was so fast I was able to wear the blouse to the fair! It fits wonderfully and is very comfortable. I will still wear it with an undershirt, but I don't think it's really nessisary. I would totally buy this product again.

Just The Shirt I Wanted
Saw this shirt and loved the design. Had to have it. This old design works well in today's blue jean fashion. I will be adding more like this to my closet.

Riding Skirt
I just love it. It looks very elegant yet it's supercomfy! I usually wear a size 8, but I got size 10 to be safe. A size 8 would have fit me just fine, but since I usually wear it with suspenders, I actually prefer the bigger size. I've worn it several times, and I've gotten compliments each time. I plan to buy another one in a different color.

Nice vest
Well made, and fits well. The color is a bit darker than shown. Adds some panache without becoming too flamboyant.

Very impressed
I had been trying to source vests in Australia for a number of months with no luck. I found Historical Emporium by pure chance and decided to give them a go. I ordered this vest along with Humboldt Stripe Vest and Classic Canvas Work Vest - Black in a single order as the three with shipping from the States was still more reasonable than anything that I'd been able to find in Australia. I had deliberately ordered a size up to be safe and on arrival I was very impressed with the quality, style and the time that the vests took to jump the puddle from the US. My tailor when I went to have them taken in (yes I probably should have trusted the sizing listed) also commented on the quality and styling; when measuring and after making the adjustments. Thank you very much (and yes I've now ordered additional vests), highly recommend both the service and product. I'll be back again.

44 holster
We bought a holster for my son's 357 mag 2 years ago for Christmas. We were very pleased with it, we bought him a 44 mag this year so we are returning customers. Both holsters are good quality and guns fit nicely...

thick fabric
This is a very thick fabric shirt and is great for Fall through Spring but not for Summer. Very comfortable to wear and looks great with several of my Historical Emporium vests. I will be wearing it for Christmas dinner this year along with my new Baker City red vest I just purchased tonight. I am a happy and satisfied repeat customer!

not really fawn color
Ordered this skirt for a costume, but it is more tan than fawn (not true to the picture). I really wanted a khaki colored skirt to go with my husband's khaki safari jacket and pants. The color selection for women's skirts don't seem to include khaki. I am returning the skirt solely based on the dark color. I had to guess and go with "sand" on another skirt and hope this will do.

Gauntlets - Brown Leather
Bought men's medium and large set of gloves. We wanted to match our gloves and the men's accessories had the best selection. The medium was for me (female) and the large was for my husband. The gloves run a bit large so I am returning the large size in exchange for the small size. The medium sized gauntlets fit my husband's hand perfectly. Otherwise, the gauntlets are great. The leather is of good quality and very soft. Just the look to complete our costumes.

Love it
I love the dress! The color is beautiful; it fits well. I am 5 foot 5 1/2 and have somewhat narrow shoulders but I am busty. This just fits on my shoulders without falling. Full, pretty skit that twirls.

Wish H.E. carried XS
The cloth and stitchwork are fine quality, no complaints there - but we went with the recommended "one size up from modern" pants guideline, and the waist was baggy and ill-fitting unless the back-adjuster was winched all the way in. Nothing to be done about the baggy arse, there's no time for a return/exchange before the event they were purchased for. I would recommend an addendum to the instructions about going one size up from your conventional modern pants measurements; measure yourself higher up on the proper waist, where the vintage trousers will sit, and unless you're a different diameter there just use your standard measurements. (Can't comment as to durability/comfort yet; order hasn't been worn past the basic try-on, as they're all going to the tailor's to get hemmed, will update if they wear remarkably well/poorly.)

Wish H.E. carried XS
The cloth and stitchwork are fine quality, no complaints there - but we went with the smallest available size, and the vest was still boxy and shapeless on my 5'7" chest 36" waist 30.5" guy. For a company that provides ludicrously long-legged trousers that everyone then has to go get hemmed, just in case some customers are gangly, they aren't worried about marketing to slender fellas. (Can't comment as to durability/comfort yet; order hasn't been worn past the basic try-on, as they're all going to the tailor's to get hemmed, will update if they wear remarkably well/poorly.)

Stin Blouse-Ivory
The blouse will go nicely with my skirts. I'm a member of a 1860-1899 re-enactment group. Last year my husband & I lost everything in the Butte Forest Fire. I'm slowly trying to replace some of my re-enactment clothes.

Callahan Frock Coat and String Tie
The coat arrived in a very timely manner and in excellent condition. I have worn it and the string tie to the Dickens Christmas Faire in South San Francisco on December 3rd and to the Nevada City Victorian Christmas on December 4th. I would definitely do business with the Historical Emporium again.

A SMOKIN', SMOKING JACKET
Great looking jacket, great fit, good material. This jacket was a cut above what I expected for the price. Fit was spot on, only requiring a simple adjustment to sleeve length. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
